COMMUNITY GIVING

making a difference in the communities we are involved with by giving back

The devastating Maui fires have taken so many lives, impacted countless others, and destroyed significant parts of the island. 

The 2024 Maui Songwriters Festival will benefit the ongoing efforts to provide support to the people of Maui.

In 2023 we raised $40,000 auctioning off 2 ukulele's signed by all singer-songwriters as well as 2 art pieces created by Karen Jury signed by Willie & Lukas Nelson.  Storme Warren was our auctioneer.
